------------------------------------------------------ From: Christian König christian.koenig@amd.com Subject: ovl: fix reference counting in ovl_mmap error path
mmap_region() now calls fput() on the vma->vm_file.
Fix this by using vma_set_file() so it doesn't need to be handled manually here any more.
